What's the "thesis"?
A thesis statement is the main idea of an essay. It consists of the topic of the essay and the writer's claim about the topic that will be proven throughout the essay. The thesis usually appears at the end of the introduction, often as the last sentence, and lets the reader know what to expect.
Your objective is to give the reader a dominant impression of an experience or some aspect of your personality. In writing your thesis statement, use descriptive language rather than vague words such as: interesting, unusual, important, and great.
In conversation, you often begin a story by saying, “The weirdest thing happened to me the other day” or “I saw something amazing last week at the zoo” “I had a frightening experience in the elevator at work once” or “Men are strange, ya know? Like, one time….”
